Liverpool injury, suspension list vs. Chelsea

Liverpool make the trip to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this weekend on the back of a defeat to Napoli in the Champions League.

While Jurgen Klopp's side have recorded five successive victories in the Premier League, the German watched on as his players under-performed in Naples.

Klopp must now decide how to manage the remainder of the upcoming schedule ahead of the next international break, although the manager of the Merseyside giants will have been happy to have had four days to prepare for their next match.
